Su Xing nodded slightly, not surprised by this.

The Way of the Five Elements has entered the sixth realm, the true realm of the Way!

This is Su Xing’s strongest offensive method so far!

In addition to the breakthroughs in both Qi and body training, Su Xing's overall strength has increased by at least 50%! This also means that Su Xing's strength has truly entered the top two levels of the Earth Ranking! Su Xing recalled Tang Yiyi's combat performance in his mind.

After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and said:

"At present, Tang Yiyi and I are indeed on par in strength..."

"But Tang Yiyi is still second on the Earth Ranking... I wonder how far behind Fairy Zi Ling she is?"

Su Xing had only seen the fight between Fairy Zi Ling and Xue San once, and he could tell that Fairy Zi Ling's strength was close to that of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But Su Xing's cultivation was still shallow at that time, so he couldn't see many clues.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to spar with Fairy Zi Ling... Then I'll see the gap between her and me!"

"As long as I can defeat Fairy Zi Ling, I can truly be ranked first on the Earth Ranking!"

Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a little hot in his heart.

If you rank first on the Earth List, you will be able to meet the Master of Tianji Pavilion.

Su Xing had missed an opportunity once, and he must not miss it again this time!

"But there is no rush for this. For now, let's continue to improve our strength!"

"However, with the power of the Shadow God... I don't know if I can trigger the talent of the Heart of the Strong!"

Su Xing frowned slightly.

If he wakes up and activates the "one more shot" talent, he will definitely be able to kill the Shadow God!

This means that Su Xing’s strength theoretically exceeds that of the Shadow God.

In order to be defeated by the Shadow God and fall into a state of serious injury and coma, a "fake match" must be held before waking up.

"I wonder if this kind of 'fake match' can trigger the talent of the strong heart?"

"Well, let's give it a try for now. There's nothing to lose anyway..."

Su Xing thought so and looked at the simulation panel.

[Your fierce battle with the shadow gods continues. ]

[In the second year of the battle, the shadow gods gradually became familiar with your attack methods and magical powers, and began to counterattack while defending. ]

[But your strength is much stronger now than before, and you have dealt a heavy blow to the Shadow God before, so you still have the upper hand.]

[You know in your heart that if you continue like this, the Shadow God will definitely not be able to help you trigger the heart of the strong. ]

[Therefore, you can only underestimate the shadow gods in battle and occasionally reveal flaws...]

[After many "match-fixing" incidents, you gradually got hurt and the two sides were evenly matched.]

[The third year of the battle... You sensed a familiar aura approaching, it was Tang Yiyi! ]

[Seeing the reinforcements coming, you faked the match even more blatantly. ]

[Finally, you were severely injured by the Shadow God and fell into a coma...]

[And Tang Yiyi also took action in time and killed the shadow god! ]

【……】

[When you woke up again, Tang Yiyi was still beside you, and your injuries had mostly recovered.]

[You immediately check the changes in your own cultivation...]

[But, to your disappointment, your cultivation has not improved at all...]

In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly when he saw this.

"Sure enough, fake matches can't trigger the heart of the strong?"

Su Xing felt a little sorry, and he began to understand the triggering mechanism of the strong heart.

The heart of a strong person, as the name suggests, is to challenge the strongest person without any regrets.

Even if you are defeated in the end, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can increase your strength!

How could a strong person "fake a match"? "Although it is not mentioned in the talent introduction, this requires one to go all out and not let down one's guard. Only then can one possibly trigger the heart of a strong person, and this is more in line with the attitude of a strong person..."

Su Xing murmured.

In a previous simulation, Su Xing did not use the 'One More Shot' talent, but still triggered the heart of the strong.

That was because at that time his strength was comparable to that of the Shadow God.

And now, Su Xing’s strength exceeds that of the Shadow God, so this fake match... is too obvious after all!

"Alas, what a pity... I have to find a new target to trigger the heart of the strong!"

Su Xing said with some regret.

Such a good experience, the baby left him again.

And next, if Su Xing wants to trigger the heart of a strong man, he must face an enemy of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level! "Well, since I can't trigger the heart of a strong man... then I'll continue to practice!"

…

[You feel a little disappointed because your strong heart is not triggered, but you quickly adjust your mindset and continue practicing.]

[In the next few years, you and Tang Yiyi fought against the alien race together, and occasionally competed with each other, with both sides winning and losing.]

[In the 1010th year, you said goodbye to Tang Yiyi and practiced in seclusion alone.]

[This period of seclusion lasted nearly three hundred years! ]

[The time has come to the 1,300th year, and you have successfully completed your retreat.]

[After more than two hundred years of hard training, your cultivation has finally reached the late fourth level of the Golden Immortal! ]

[At the same time, the energy tree in your body has also grown to 23 feet! ]

[The range of the spiritual realm has also increased to 21,000 miles...]

[This year, you know that the alien race from the eighth heaven will descend upon this world. ]

[And facing these Taiyi Jinxian-level aliens' encirclement and suppression, you are no match...]

[You are unwilling to see this simulation end so easily...]

[Fortunately, you already have a way to extend the duration of this simulation! ]

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

As early as in a previous simulation, Su Xing was ready to extend the simulation time.

"Since the alien races in the Ninth Heaven Realm are so powerful, I will transform into the form of an inferior demon vest... This will definitely extend the simulation time!"

"The power of the Lesser Demon Vest has not been improved for a long time... Even if there are only a few hundred years left, we cannot waste it!"

"By the way, I can also use my inferior demon identity to investigate the distribution of alien forces in the Nine Heavens..."

Having made a decision in his mind, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel.

[In the 1,300th year, you chose to transform into a lesser demon.]

[And in this year, the geniuses of the Seventh Heaven encountered an encirclement and suppression by alien races...]

[In this battle, almost all of the human race's geniuses were wiped out... Only Tang Yiyi is missing, and you did not find Tang Yiyi's body.]

[Soon, you will be discovered by other alien races.]

[These foreign gods were all shocked when they saw you. ]

[A second-level god-level inferior demon unexpectedly appeared in the Ninth Heaven Realm.]

[But soon, these alien gods thought of a possibility...]

[The “Mother Goddess” favored her again, and a god-level inferior demon was born! ]

[As long as they continue to seek power for the Mother Goddess, more powerful alien races will be born! ]

[Because the aura on your body is very pure, even the main god of a foreign race cannot find any flaws. ]

[Although you are only a second-level god, the special nature of your inferior demon identity makes these foreign gods respect you.]

[After several years, a mysterious light descended on the seventh heaven, and then a passage was opened.]

[Including you, most of the alien gods have gone to the Eighth Heaven! ]

In the real world, Su Xing saw a gleam of brilliance in his eyes! "Actually, in this way, he went to the eighth heaven!"

With Su Xing's strength, he would definitely not be able to reach the Eighth Heaven in a short period of time! But now, under the guidance of the alien gods, he actually got the opportunity to go to the Eighth Heaven in advance! "The Eighth Heaven... should be the main battlefield between the human race and the alien race... the place where the real top fighting forces gather!"

"Besides, the Seventh Heaven has so many natural treasures... I wonder how many treasures the Eighth Heaven has!"

Su Xing couldn't wait to see the scenery of the eighth heaven.

Look at the simulation panel!

[With the blessing of this great power, you successfully reached the eighth heaven. ]

[The place where you landed is the base camp of an alien race! ]

[In this base camp, there are hundreds of first-level gods gathered, and there are even three main gods of foreign races! ]

[This is your first time coming to the eighth heaven, and seeing a large number of truly powerful aliens! ]

[The number of alien warriors in this base alone is enough to capture the Tianji Domain! ]

[However, these foreign gods gathered together just to prevent a woman from entering the Ninth Heaven...]

[And this woman is naturally... the Master of Tianji Pavilion! ]

[Soon, you know the answer...]

[The Master of Tianji Pavilion is not a Daluo Jinxian... but a Half-Saint! ]

[She is not a half-saint like Qing Yunzi who lost his mind after failing to kill the three corpses, but a genuine half-saint! ]

[Even, he is regarded as the closest being to a saint! ]

[And the goal of the Tianji Pavilion Master is to reach the Ninth Heaven... and attain sainthood! ]

In the real world, Su Xing frowned when he saw this.

"The Pavilion Master of Tianji is actually a semi-saint!"

Although, this is huge good news for the human race!

After all, the human race finally has a saint-level combat power! Even if it is only a half-saint, there is a huge difference between it and the Daluo Jinxian!

"But the question is, is a sober half-saint still not enough to protect the human race?"

Su Xing murmured.

The reason why the Master of Tianji Pavilion is so eager to seek the way to become a saint.

There is probably only one reason, a half-saint is not enough to expel the alien races and defend the world of immortal cultivation!

This shows that there are definitely saint-level combat capabilities among the alien races! Su Xing had this idea a long time ago, but now he is more certain.

"Going to the eighth heaven can indeed obtain more information..."

"Then next, we should find a way to obtain more intelligence on alien races and humans in the Eighth Heaven to prepare for the future."

"At the same time, the level of the Lesser Demon Vest can be raised a bit!"

The plan to awaken the inferior demon is about to be launched, so it is necessary to improve the inferior demon's realm now.

Look at the simulation panel.

[After arriving at the eighth heaven, you began to gather intelligence about the alien races.]

[Soon, you learned that there were hundreds of first-level gods of the alien race in the eighth heaven, and there were also several main gods.]

[Several deputy commanders of the First Legion, as well as most of the Second Legion's combat power, are in the Eighth Heaven.]

[Because of your identity as an inferior demon god, you were well protected and did not directly participate in the war with the human monks.]

[You only stayed in the Eighth Heaven for a few years, and after gathering some intelligence, you received an order.]

[Leave the Nine Heavens Realm and go to the Tianji Realm to cultivate an army of inferior demons and assist in conquering the Tianji Realm. ]

[Although it is a pity that I was not able to obtain more information, you also recorded the races and strengths of many alien gods in the Eighth Heaven.]

[And in the Tianji Realm, it is more suitable for you to breed the inferior demon race. ]

[In the 1,310th year, you returned to the Tianji Realm.]

[Your return quickly attracted the attention of the alien army in Tianji Domain. ]

[As always, you have become the deputy commander of the Third Army Corps.]

[Next, you will cultivate inferior demon apostles and believers in the Tianji Realm...]

[In this way, nearly five hundred years have passed.]

[In the 1,800th year, you have cultivated enough believers to continuously provide you with a vast amount of energy source.]

[But you are not complacent, because you know that the second war between Tianji Territory and alien races in the 2000th year will be a huge threat to you.]

[In previous simulations, you died at this point in time. ]

【And this time, you're not going to sit still and wait for death. 】

[You have contacted the leader of the Fifth Army Corps, who is also a main god of an alien race, from one of the ten great alien clans, the Taolong clan! ]

[The Taolong clan is different from the six-winged, shadow, or red-eyed alien races. This race has fewer demonic traits and is more "beastly"! ]

[According to legend, the Taolong clan is a gluttonous eater with no restraint. Their true bodies are as big as a planet. They can swallow the blood of billions of creatures in one breath to grow stronger, and they can also devour the planet world. ]

[The Taolong clan has a high status among the alien races, and is ranked in the top eight among the ten great imperial clans! ]

[The Taolong Lord God you contacted is the patriarch of the Taolong clan, also known as "Gluttony"! ]

[The Taolong Lord God was very happy about your contact, and quickly sent two first-level gods to personally drive the black boat to pick you up.]

[Although the leader of the Third Legion, the Shadow God, is somewhat unhappy about this, it is not good to offend you.]

[So, you temporarily left the Third Legion and went to the Fifth Legion for refuge! ]

[And the location of the Fifth Legion is the Qingyuan Territory! ]

In the real world, Su Xing was delighted when he saw this.

"After going around in circles, I finally returned to Qingyuan Territory!"

"After returning to Qingyuan Territory, we should be able to avoid the great war between the alien races in the 2,000th year, right?"

"Moreover, compared to the dangerous Tianji Realm, the Qingyuan Realm is obviously safer..."

"Although the believers are farther away and gaining faith will be slower, they can still live longer!"

"As for the information about the alien races, we will be able to obtain it when we have the chance!"

Thinking so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

[In the 1850th year, you left the Tianji Realm and returned to the Qingyuan Realm.]

[What’s different from before is that this time you are serving as the temporary deputy commander of the Fifth Legion in the guise of a lesser demon.]

[For the next one hundred years or so, you can stay in Qingyuan Territory and gather the power of faith.]

[Time flies and it is the 2,000th year. ]

[In the past 150 years, you have collected a lot of power of faith, but it is still not enough for you to be promoted to the late stage of the second level of deity.]

[The good news is that over the past 100 years, you have gained a more detailed understanding of the Fifth Legion's intelligence.]

[The Fifth Army is only about 80% as strong as the Third Army, and the strength of the Taolong Lord is also lower than that of the Shadow Lord...]

[You haven't collected enough power of faith, but fortunately you haven't encountered much danger, so you can continue to stay in the base camp of the Fifth Legion and develop safely.]

[In the blink of an eye, another three hundred years have passed! ]

[The 2300th year. This is the longest time in your simulation history.]

[While in Qingyuan Territory, you finally learned the information about Tianji Territory where the Third Legion is located! ]

[Three hundred years ago, the second war between Tianji Territory and the Third General Legion was triggered! ]

[In that battle, the human race managed to win back a victory, which can be said to have extended the human race's luck for a thousand years! ]

[Bai Di killed three first-level gods by himself, and severely damaged the shadow god! ]

[But in that battle, the human race also suffered heavy losses. ]

[Two Taiyi Golden Immortals were killed... one of them is someone you know, Xiao Zhanlong! ]

【The White Emperor also lost his left arm, and his vitality was greatly damaged.】

[But fortunately, Canglan Realm was saved. ]

[In the Tianji Territory, the human race still occupies most of the territory. ]

[The battle between Tianji Territory and the alien race is still in a white-hot stage...]

[You were slightly relieved after hearing this news, which shows that the luck of the human race has not yet been cut off.]

【However, you will soon no longer be happy. 】

[In the 2500th year, you learned a piece of news that the Seventh General Legion of the Alien Race has withdrawn most of the alien races from the Nanman Territory to assist the Third Legion... in invading the Tianji Territory! ]

[The battle between Tianji Territory and the alien race is already in a balance. Once the Seventh General Army joins the battlefield... Tianji Territory will inevitably fall into an absolute disadvantage! ]

[But at this moment, you can’t care so much...]

[You who are in the Qingyuan Realm can only do your best to improve your realm. 】

[So, another two hundred years passed...]

[In the 2700th year, you will use all the power of faith you have accumulated for more than 800 years to improve your realm!]

[With the infusion of massive power of faith, your divine power continues to increase...]

[Finally, you have successfully entered the late stage of the second level of God! ]

In the real world, Su Xing felt mixed emotions when he saw this, both happy and worried.

The good news is that he has successfully entered the late stage of the second-level god and is not far from becoming a first-level god.

But what worries me is that the situation in Tianji Territory is really critical! "I don't know what the situation is like with the Tianji Pavilion Master... Can Baidi hold on to Tianji Territory?"

Su Xing had a premonition that perhaps, the human race was not far from being completely defeated.

"I originally thought that the human race still had at least tens of thousands of years of luck..."

"But as the Southern Barbarian Territory has been completely invaded, it has become difficult for the other major territories of the human race to hold on..."

Su Xing muttered, looking at the simulation panel.

[In the 2800th year, you received information that the Canglan Realm in the Tianji Realm was occupied by aliens.]

[The Tianji Realm is in imminent danger...]
